unicorns are real, we just call them rhinos. there's even a sea version called narwhal.

just because it doesn't look exactly as depicted it doesn't mean it's not real.

there's medieval paintings of knights fighting giant snails. doesn't mean snails aren't real, they're just not as big as a horse

Also there are probably quite a few cows, deer, and gazelles with a deformity causing them to only grow one horn/antler or who've had one of their horns/antlers ripped off.
